What would be a fair price to pay someone to look after 20 cow calf pairs year around? They would be putting out hay in the winter and keeping minerals out. Also checking them daily to make sure all is good. If something is sick I would take care of that. They live on the place where the cows...

Where the mud ? Lol I agree with Kenny it isn’t muddy till the tractor is dragging. I’ll take a pic later this week when i feed hay to so you what mud is. Nice tractor 👍🏼

No I don’t I was hoping to buy them together like a kit or something. I currently use deep cycle batteries but I usually forget to change it till it’s done dead.

I use this 12 volt charger for a small fence around a pond. It’s in the middle of a field so I can not connect it to the exterior fence that has electric on it. Probably only about 3000 feet of wire.

I been thinking about getting a solar panel with a battery charger to keep the battery charged that works one of my fence chargers. What size panel do I need?

I’ll be using wood post but thought I would use metal pipe for the brace.

What size pipe would you want to use for the brace of a H brace ? Would 2” round and 1/8” thick be enough or over kill?

I bought a set of those about 4 years ago. Worked good for a couple years. Now I can’t get them to calibrate right. Every time you weigh something it’s a different weight.

I put down geo textile fabric first then 1-2” rock about 4-5” deep then topped it off with what I think is call number 10s. It’s a very small gravel around 1/4” with a lot if lime dust. Going to rent a packer tomorrow and water it down and pack it good and tight.

Well almost done. Turned out building it bigger than original plans. 20x32

I would beat you probably can guess there weight pretty good. Iam horrible at it. Iam pretty good with guessing cows weight but calves Iam not. I sold some a while back that where 250 lbs heavier than I thought

Did you order them online or buy them local ?

What is the best brand of scales for weighing cattle? I bought a set of the cheap Os off eBay a few years ago and they have bit the dust and I never really trusted them anyway. Which do you prefer platform scales in the alley or the load cells you can mount under the squeeze chute ? Either one...

So better go with 2x12 rafters then. We get some snow but usually not to much 6-8” would be a blizzard here. Usually on a couple inches at a time.

Ok I was going to go 16” centers on the rafters using 2x8s and then 2x4 laths on 24” centers. Think that will work ?

I don’t think I explained myself right. Here is what Iam wanting to do.

Iam wanting to build a lean to shed over part of my corral where we work cows. Wanting to go 20 ft long and 18-20 feet wide. I don’t want any post in the middle. On the ends post will be on 10 ft centers. What size lumber should I use for the rafter? Would a 2x8 span 18 ft if I put them on 16”...

Do you feed 16% the entire time to finish?

What protein % do you feed?

How old is to old to slaughter a cow for meat and it still be good? I would be grinding it all in burger. I know they kill old cows every day but would you kill one to eat that’s 10 or 12 years old ?
